On April 15, 2026, banks such as the State Bank of India (SBI), HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank will remain closed in several regions of India due to the observance of Pohela Boishakh, Bohag Bihu, Vishu, and Himachal Day. This closure will affect cities including Agartala, Chennai, Kolkata, and Mumbai, among others. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) categorizes bank holidays into three types: those under the Negotiable Instruments Act, Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) holidays, and bank account closing days.
